I work outside for about 5 hours a night all year. I've been having a lot of trouble finding rain gear that actually holds up. I tried stearns jackets from walmart and other basic stuff and it only lasts for a few nights. I was also looking into gore-tex but its not really work quality and VERY expensive for jackets. Someone also suggested me a Barbour jacket but they are 400 dollars and up. I was looking at cabelas and they make a waterproof fleece for 50 bucks that I want to try. From what I've used a heavy cotton or cordura jacket seems to be the most durable but its tough to find waterproof stuff under 300 dollars made from that. I've used the cheap polyester hooded sweatshirts at work and they hold up pretty good so I'm wondering if this waterproof fleece is the way to go for rain gear? Being outside that long I'm probly gonna get wet no matter what. I'm also going to get the gore-tex cap by carharrt since its only 15 bucks. Hopefully it will help keep the rain off my head and it will be cheap to replace when it wears out. anyone else have suggestions?
